Why won't my S boat rearm trops

[Chris21wen]

I have two AS parked in Broome so why won't it rearm. Note it has 4 sys damage.

6000 tons docking space is available to a level 2 port, you will either have a level 8/9 port to rearm torps, of put a AS with supplies there...

[Blind Sniper]

Maybe your AS is in short supply.
Moreover I think you have to dock the sub.

you will either have a level 8/9 port to rearm torps

Level 7 too (reading the manual).

Chris, your screen shot doesn't show the AS ships, it shows the base screen. The AS need supplies loaded into the ships themselves to rearm subs, once you do that it won't matter what the port size is. I've rearmed subs from an AS at level 1 ports before; just make sure you've got supplies on board the AS (and AD and AGP's) and they will rearm their respective ship types they service.

Chris,

See pages 284 thru 288 in the manual (20.1.2.2 Ship Rearmament at Port Table). You need a combination of a large enough port AND naval support to be able to reload weapons unless your port size is 7 or larger when you can relaod just about everything. You could have 10 AS in Broome and they would not work.

Umm ... not exactly true ny59giants. It is EITHER the raw Port Table OR a suitable tender from the tender column. An AS, with an appropriate amount of supply, will rearm subs, even in a port-1.

In old WitP the presence of the AS was sufficient. In WitP AE the AS must have the supplies on board. Make sure the AS is loaded, set to Do Not Unload, and you can either disband her in port (she'll keep the supplies on board) or keep her in a TF.

DUH!!

Now I need to look into AEs and AKEs more closely.

[Chris21wen]

It wasn't port size as I had two AS tenders in the port although only one had any supply (which I now know is required to rearm). Neither was it supply at the base. I did say system damage was 4! This is my error I was looking a x0 against the num on Mk 21 trops. No tubes, I read it wrong as no armmo.

Doh

[tigercub]

I was thinking you could not dock to load supply.
